ok - so Dan aka @GunsightMountain - who never posts here - and I have scored a 31' Fleetwood Wilderness Travel Trailer built in 2001. For free. This thread will be my journal of getting it ready to become our hunting camp - to park at our lease and to eventually start making trips out west to mule deer / elk hunt. And of course - the plan is to bring this to SP next year!!
Initial findings when we met with owner to size it up and make the decision if we wanted it. were:
Everything works including electric slide out and frame / tires / axles are all in good shape.
Other impressions were: Roof needs to be repaired / redone which led to substantial water damage in front bedroom so also need to gut that. Floor by door was rotted out. Trash all the mattresses / sofa bed, dinette cushions & carpet. Clean the HVAC and rip out plumbing (the previous owner put anti-freeze in fresh water tank) . There is some water marks behind microwave we needed to check into as well. Rest of kitchen and bathroom looked ok.
